Facebook – Get yourself Liked and Make your Presence Felt

Mark Zuckerburg, Facebook's proud CEO, can be regarded as the real 'media mogul' in the social media industry today. Clearly, the most famous and the largest social network on internet, Facebook helps optimise your business's presence and enhance your visibility. In layman's terms, Facebook revolves around getting yourself 'Liked' and getting connected with whosoever you like or want.

With the ever evolving Facebook interface, it's sometimes tough to keep up and sort out what's important for your business. This may or may not impact your business's efforts to engage with vibrant communities, reaching a wider audience and ultimately communicating efficiently.

Businesses may consider the following components in order to optimise their Facebook presence and for their brand to strive:

1. Update often and in real time – Search results are updated according to the content and fresh signals that company updates. Your account remains alive with your active participation.

2. Accentuate your brand, company keywords – Make sure that the most important keywords are the ones related to your company and brand. Staying true to what you do and who you are will help your search results.

4. Build external links to your Facebook page – Ensuring that you link your Facebook pages from your other social media accounts, your blogs, and websites will turn out to be fruitful for your business.

5. Use relevant keywords in your status updates and descriptions – Stuffing too many keywords in your statuses and descriptions might annoy your audience and you never want to do that. Use keywords judiciously.

6. Enable 'Like', 'Recommend' and 'Share' buttons at all appropriate places – Liking, recommending or sharing contents or links is the primary aspect of Facebook. Make sure you add 'Like' buttons directly on your website and content. Posting updates that generate action in the form of comments and likes helps your business boost its visibility.
